I have made a lot of people happy from that quote. If you do figure out who said it though, please tell me.soulblade06 said:
The car is on fire, and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies
Picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand
And we fell into it
Like a daydream
Or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it's full of Mud...
~Godspeed! You Black Emperor

There is some Warhammer 40K in this thread... but not enough.
If I were a proper brother-captain, I would know the prayer we are supposed to say. But I think you all know what we have to do.
We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves.
No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy - the Enemy will know.
The Enemy will remember.
We will hurt it so bad that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial - carved into the heart of Chaos.
We cannot lose, Grey Knights.
We have already won.
Good god damn, that universe makes for some bad-ass warriors.

"Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt."
"No matter how corrupt, greedy and heartless our gonvernment, our corporations, our media and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful."
"We have grown, but there is still much to be done. Many who live in darkness who must be shown the way. For it is the dawning of a new day."
"If there were no god, it would be necessary to invent him."
Basically this entire song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gkAF5_UOj8

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"
Because when the words are spoken, it always sounds so disgusting and like the person will throw up at any point in saying them.
for those who don't know what it means...
"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."

Almost any line coming from Christopher Lee in the Lord of the Rings movies, if that man's voice doesn't give you chills then you may need to have your ears examined
I loved the short story and the game of the same name. The way that the ending of the short story connected to the title gave me chills. The ideas behind the story absolutely perturbed me.T8B95 said:
OT: A lot of quotes from Persona titles tend to give me chills
-"The more false images one yearns for, the more one stops yearning for reality..."
-"Humans ache to expose their suppressed sides, while the prying eyes around them are curious to see them laid bare"
-"Though life is merely a journey to the grave, it must not be undertaken without hope. Only then will a traveler's story live on, treasured by those who bid him farewell."
-"But tell me this; are you aware of the many and varied selves you harbor within you?"
-"No one wishes for the fog to lift. Why act against the wishes of your fellow man? Consider... is that truly just?"
I also love a lot of the quotes from the final battle in Persona 3. I have them all typed out for when I used to use them in my essays, with the appropriate tarot card (or arcana) each quote represented. (listed as a spoiler for space, and in case people think that quotes from a final boss are automatic spoilers)

Sorry for the long post; the Persona series is a goldmine for good quotes
"Hey! Why dont you pick on some-one your own size..?" - Dave, Kick-Ass.
XD Yeah, it rings with awesome to me, particularily because he's saying it with a bazooka in hand at the time..
"I am so gonna shoot the shit out of you!" 'Zvatto'(1P), Lost Planet 2
Its simple but in Lost Planet 2 thats about the most badass line used in the entire game. I dont get tired of hearing it.
And just about every line where Female Commander Shepherd is yelling at something or some-one angrily.

"It's not just that wolf of his. The wolf just gets scraps. Bones. It's him. He... eats... people. He cooks them like they were steaks. Just like they were steaks. Now, he's got both of us."
-Lucille, Sin City
Easily the darkest, most disturbing part of the movie... Kind of freaky to read. Very freaky to watch.
Check it out if you haven't.

"An oasis of horror in a desert of boredom"
-Charles Baudelaire
This is the quote that opens up Roberto Bolano's final novel, 2666. Contextually speaking, the quote resounds most whilst reading the 4th section of the book; one in which the details of hundreds of homicides in a fictional city in northern Mexico are presented to the reader. The quote in turn to me shows a deep seeded emotional complacency involving the willful ignorance of human existence in the 21st century. Every time I open the book and I see just that quote, I see apocalypse and the extinction of humanity as I understand it's most endearing and passionate qualities. That quote DESTROYS me.
